Lesser Antillean Pewee

Lots of people I know have stories behind all their bird photos. I don't for the most part. I look. I shoot. That's it.

But I do have a story for this Lesser Antillean Pewee I sighted far off in the Syndicate area of Dominica. The bird sighted me back, and moved closer and closer until it was a mere 8 feet away staying pefectly still. Never had that happen before.

This species is described as "drab" in much of the literature. Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. I think the bird in looks and personality is adorable, and I believed he came so close to provide him a DeMille moment. I was happy to provide it. Posted one year ago
